I tend to make Christmas ornaments a little larger than normal ornaments. I do this to make it easier to cut for new scrollers. I included a small and large pattern. If you want another size just use the scale print to select the size you think you need.

You can cut the backer board or just make the ornaments a single layer. I am showing the backer board painted red in the photo above.

Information:
I have used the Nativity theme for several patterns this holiday season. Someone asked me what my strategy when deciding what pattern to publish each day. I had to chuckle because I mostly just wing it.

Every day around midnight I sit down in front of the computer and try to come up with something to make. Some days are easier. Holidays for instance, always give me a theme. The Christmas season is the most important time of year for what I do. The pattern downloads will go up 300% from October thru December. Some patterns get more attention than others. Any pattern with a Nativity theme will always be a popular download. 

It is not my intention to overuse a theme but it just happens. One of my goals is to design a few patterns that are very specific. The specific patterns will only be useful to a small number of people. I can do this because I don't sell the patterns. I don't have to worry if it will sell. I work off donations and advertising so that gives me a bit more flexibility.

I will continue to try to keep the patterns diverse but some themes are just not a strong point for me. I am not good at portrait style patterns. I can do them but they take a lot of time and often come out looking different than I hoped for. 

Personalized Christmas Ornament Patterns are ready to order:

I am ready to start taking Personalized Christmas Ornament Pattern orders.

I can do first or last names but remember that more than ten letters will be more difficult to cut.

The order form will take up to 20 names for people and 5 names for pets. If you need more than 20/5 then start a second order.

You will not pay until you have the patterns and are 100% happy with them. There will be an invoice sent with the patterns to your email. You will have the option to pay securely with a credit card or send a check to the included address.

I am shooting for a three-day turnaround but that may be difficult for a few days until I get all the kinks worked out. I'll do my best. You can set a bookmark for each of the order forms but I will post them almost every day until Christmas.

$1 per/name with a 5 name minimum.

$2 per/name no minimum. 




$12 per sheet of 12 coins plus $3.50 shipping
